A big goal from long ago was to provide useful automated analyses of changes to help analysts and others prioritize what to look at. We originally did that with AnalyzeChangeJob, which is scheduled automatically after every import and create annotation records for every consecutive pair of versions:

However, the analysis provided by that job always fell short (for a variety of reasons), and the problems it was meant to solve were ultimately better handled by web-monitoring-task-sheets. AnalyzeChangeJob is still running after every import, though! It’s doing a lot of work and generating a lot of data nobody never uses, so it’s probably time to disable it.

(NB: in an ideal world, we’d have better integrated the task sheets stuff so it ran automatically and posted results as annotations available through the API here, but that never happened for a whole other set of reasons. At this point, we are putting the project to rest, and it no longer makes sense to try and better integrate these tools.)
